FAQ
Proto's kitchen
At Proto we have a Mediterranean cuisine. All dishes are meant to be shared in an informal and relaxed way. But you can, of course, also choose a dish just for yourself when the food on your plate is just too good to share. We wouldn’t blame you.
We can take into account most of the common diets/allergies (e.g., vegetarian, gluten, lactose etc.). Please always inform us any of these upon your reservation. In case of different or more specific/strict diet restrictions, please give us a call so we can discuss.
At Proto, we have some vegetarian options on our menu. Many of our vegetarian dishes are also suitable for vegans, some others can be adjusted in order to be vegan.
Yes, you can order the food at our trattoria for take away. Delivery is not possible.
